Bubble, Bubble, It's No Trouble

The following is a verbatim account of the conversation earlier this afternoon among Sweeney, Tom Cat-Jones and Dash. The subject? It was free-ranging.Sweeney: We have fresh Georgia peaches, just brought in from the Georgia/Florida border, and a request: peach pie.Dash: What's going on? Gimlet and Sam made a batch of Katharine Hepburn's brownies the other day, and then Doggie Dad made another batch. It's August in Florida. There are limits...Sweeney: Paul Newman.Tom Cat-Jones: Understood.Dash: What?Sweeney: Paul. He's married to Joanne Woodward, and she's from Thomasville, Georgia. That's where the peaches came from.Tom Cat-Jones: Gotcha. No limits. The man knows no limits.Sweeney: Tennessee Williams.Tom Cat-Jones: Cats on hot, tin roofs.

Dash: Libation. Peach brandy. Booze.

Sweeney: Stir the eight skinned peaches, thinly sliced, and the cup of sugar with the five tablespoons of quick tapioca and the tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg. It has to be a tablespoon, mind you. Then squeeze in a lemon and maybe two tablespoons of blueberry vinegar. I suppose you could use raspberry, which would bring it closer to a peach melbalike taste. Don't forget the tablespoon of cold, unsalted butter, cut into bits.

Tom Cat-Jones: You're pouring that in a pie crust? This is a double-crust, deep-dish pie, I hope.

Sweeney: It is. It's a no-holds-barred peach pie. It's a pie that Hud would appreciate.
